Pharrell Williams

He's so incredible and for every artist, producer, and anybody he is the cream of the crop. He's just amazing and he probably knows that he has that effect on people, so he makes an effort to make you feel welcome and at home, which I think is really nice.

For Beats 1, Camila told about work with Pharrell for this song: "[Working with Pharrell] was insane. That was crazy. So I went in with my executive producer Frank Dukes—he’s amazing. … [For] “Havana,” we wrote verses for that like three different times and the last time was with Pharrell. I basically tricked him into doing that ad-lib track for me because, at first he was like, you know, ‘I think it’d be super dope if you did it because you’re a girl and to have those rappy ad-libs in there would be dope,’ and I was like, ‘Oh, why don’t you like sketch them out for me?’ And I just kept all of them in there/ I was like, “Yes!” But, yeah he’s amazing. … When I came in, he played us his album that he’s working on, and just feeding off of that energy is inspiring. … Just the way that he takes obviously artistry super seriously and everything has a purpose, levery lyric has a purpose, every word has a purpose, every ad-lib that he did has a purpose."
